2018 ZL1 Battery Protection Package?
I'm pricing out a 2018 ZL1 and I'm wondering what exactly is the Battery Protection Package option? The description says "Keep your battery in peak condition with this 110-volt battery charger." Is it anything more than a stand-alone charger?

I looked at that too,
Couldn’t see anything that looked better than the standard battery tenders, This is what I use.

Yeah, that's what I am thinking. I already have a charger so it doesn't make sense to order it unless it does something special.

I have the GM one, it is a battery charger with alligator clips. I bought a Battery Tender at Costco so I could hardwire it to my battery and plug it in with the pigtail connector. Save your money and buy a retail one. If you plan to let your ZL1 sit for more than a month at a time, you will need to keep it on a charger of some kind.

Just the tender for storage.
I bought one after the purchase of the car...completely aware it was twice the price of a non-Camaro branded model...but hey...it looks cool! |

Yep, I'm using this C-Tek
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Main thing is make sure whatever you get has AGM mode. I believe most of them today do.

Yes, I believe the SS does as well. In fact, maybe all trims levels.
